Chumma is a spider genus with only two described species, as of February 2016[update]. The genus is the only one in the family Chummidae. Both species were first described in 2001 and are known from males and females.[1]
They are small, three-clawed spiders with a strong dorsal scutum. They have no fovea, and the posterior and median spinnerets are reduced. The males of C. gastroperforata have two pairs of abdominal pockets, which play a role in mating.[2]
Distribution
This family is endemic to South Africa.
